Lineo®: Nature’s strongest asset – hidden in plain sight
Replacing fossil-based raw materials with Lineo® by Stora Enso
Nordic forestry is buzzing, combining centuries of traditional knowledge with revolutionising innovation and adaptability. Designed to replace fossil-based materials across many industries, Lineo® by Stora Enso is here to provide you with a powerful alternative.
Lineo® is a product of ingenuity and a determination to end global dependency on fossil-based materials.
Circularity is not new to us at Stora Enso – but we continually seek new and improved ways to utilise bio-based materials from our forests. While industries recognise the need to transition to more sustainable solutions, many have yet to find effective ways to meet this challenge. Legislators, companies, and consumers are all looking for more eco-friendly alternatives. But can all fossil-based solutions be replaced? We believe they can.Versatile and powerful
At the centre of attention, you will find Lineo® by Stora Enso – a powerful bio-based polymer. By using nature’s own natural binder, our customers can create new products that are more sustainable, have a lower carbon footprint, and that reduce dependency on fossil-based materials. Producing lignin does not require any additional tree cutting. Instead, it optimises the use of existing resources.Replacing fossil-based materials everywhere
Stora Enso has focused on turning lignin into a sustainable alternative for fossil-based materials across industries. Today, Lineo® can be used in a variety of applications, ranging from replacing phenol in resins for plywood, to developing bio-based and biodegradable polymers. It can even be used to replace a part of the oil-based binder in asphalt.Lineo® by Stora Enso is a product family with several grades of high purity kraft lignin material.
